MILO - GREAT DANE DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Great Dane. LOCATION: Orem, UT DOB: 07/25/2020 Milo is a loving, people-oriented dog who thrives on companionship. He is very much a velcro dog, happily following his people from room to room and “helping” with whatever is going on. He appears to prefer women but does well with everyone he meets. Milo is affectionate, loyal, and always wants to be close to his humans — whether that means shadowing you through the house or curling up on the couch for a nap. His energy level is moderate and tends to match that of his family. He enjoys playing with other dogs once he feels comfortable, but he does require slow, thoughtful introductions at first. After a few days to decompress and build confidence, he settles in nicely and enjoys tug-of-war, chase, and wrestling with his canine friends. He could do well as an only dog or with other dogs in the home. Milo is house-trained and has had no accidents in his foster home. He does fairly well in a crate and only tends to whine if other dogs are vocal. On leash, he is still a work in progress and sometimes needs guidance. In the car, he rides along but may try to climb into the front seat to be closer to his person. He is not much of a barker, though on rare occasions he will let out a deep, excited howl. He loves chewing on bones and carrying toys around, often running and happily shaking them with enthusiasm. He is not particularly food-driven and was hesitant to eat when he first arrived, but his appetite has improved significantly. He enjoys treats like blueberries, apples, oatmeal, and especially cheese, though peanut butter is not a favorite. Milo is currently living with large Great Danes and, after a brief adjustment period, has formed positive relationships with them. He also lives with cats and has shown little interest in them. While he loves people of all ages, his size and clumsiness could unintentionally knock over small children. He would likely do best with older children or teenagers who can handle his enthusiasm. Milo is still working on some house manners, including jumping up to greet people, checking hands for treats, and occasionally investigating the garbage. With consistency and guidance, he continues to improve. He does have a bump on his left front leg above the elbow that adopters should be aware of. The ideal home for Milo would be one where someone is home often or a family that can provide him with the attention, structure, and affection he craves. He is a happy, devoted boy who will flourish with patient guidance and a family committed to helping him continue to grow into his best self. ========================= To apply to adopt Milo, please fill out the application form: form.jotform/51994996709176 SRGDRR adopts nationwide and offers transport options to help you find your perfect match.
